To write spiritually

"To write spiritually is to engage in a search for authentic language. You’ll find your truth by writing your way to it."

-- Patrice Vecchione

Everyone stumbles

Everyone stumbles over the truth from time to time, but most people pick themselves up and hurry off as though nothing ever happened.

~Sir Winston Churchill

To attain knowledge

To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.

~Lao Tzu

When guilt

When guilt rears its ugly head confront it, discuss it and let it go. The past is over. … Forgive yourself and move on.

~Bernie S. Siegel

Follow effective action

Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.

~James Levin

Just because

Just because we increase the speed of information doesn't mean we can increase the speed of decisions. Pondering, reflecting and ruminating are undervalued skills in our culture.

~Dale Dauten

An avoidance

An avoidance of true communication is tantamount to a relinquishment of my self-being; if I withdraw from it I am betraying not only the other but myself.

~Karl Jaspers

The gesture

The gesture is the thing truly expressive of the individual – as we think so will we act.

~Martha Graham

You can

You can do anything you think you can. This knowledge is literally the gift of the gods, for through it you can solve every human problem. It should make of you an incurable optimist. It is the open door.

~Robert Collier
